Re: Dark or Light: which side are you?

At times I think I would be a light sided JEDI as I have a fairly high moral code, but while reading the new series with JACEN SOLO descending from the light to the dark side I found myself identifying with many of the choices he was making when he was more gray than light or dark.

In many ways it was a wake up call, and a call for personal restraint as it is very easy to begin making choices that seem expedient and completely appropriate at the times, but they leave you changed and your righteous walk a little off from its path.

I won't debate many of the points individually, but I believe that we can see the practicality in many choices that while illegal or immoral they could be the "right one" at the time. Would anyone really begrudge one death to save a million, but once we begin making those choices we have begun descending the slippery slope.

I do prefer the MANDO approach in many of these situations as they are Ã¢Â€ÂœgrayerÃ¢Â€Â than one of these polarized opposites, instead of living lives by the absolutes, but by principles that guide our life.

Re: Dark or Light: which side are you?

Dark Jedi who follows most of the code of Mand'alor. I say this because like some have stated already, I do agree with some of the Jedi principals, but I don't agree with their light vs dark agenda.

Best way I can state it is in this analogy: In a crane, the positive energy is used to lift things. The downside is in order to lift that object, you need a counter weight to the positiive energy. That negative energy is doing somethign good in order for the crane to work.

Similarly, I think there are times when the light is unable to react accordingly to a threat and risking being utterly destroyed. A good example could be what happend to the Jedi in the prequels.

I don't know if any of htis makes any sense, but I hope it does.
